Yes! Please thin down the crowds on the floor!

I've had to pay extra many times before. I don't like it, but I sure do like the visible results on the floor. And it really does seem worth the inconvenience to me.

I've never seen a coach in the chair (nor would I want to) keeping stats. A statistition can easily sit in the stands.

Plus what skill level was the tournamnet? One coach giving directions, is better for the wrestler anyway (my son and I learned that the hard way).

I agree with hutchwrestling and Nigel. It's a good policy. Too many people are needlessly getting in the way.

Bronco Wrestler did ask the real question though, and maybe a ratio of 1:3 is better, as suggested.
